The pygame functionality that requires actual files, as far as I can 
tell, are limited to the following:
	pygame.mixer.music.load
	(the default ttf font -- the font loading will take a file-like object)

I'm sure someone will figure out some workaround for the ttf font 
issue, but this problem isn't really specific to pygame.  Not all C 
APIs are as nice as SDL about providing structures such as SDL_RWops 
that allow callbacks+context instead of on-disk paths :)  It's probably 
also a lot faster to use on-disk stuff, but that's not really a big 
deal.
